This study uses dual transcriptomics to compare parasitism strategies between two Rafflesiaceae species and their hosts, revealing molecular parallels to gall formation and a potential role for fungal symbionts.

The paper analyzes duckweed clones to resolve taxonomic relationships and finds triploidy is common, with implications for classification and evolution.

This study shows ELF3, a circadian clock component, restricts lateral root development by maintaining rhythmic gene expression and interacting with hormonal signals in Arabidopsis.

This study constructs a chromosome-scale cannabis pangenome to explore genomic diversity and evolution, revealing low diversity in cannabinoid synthase genes and high diversity in other regions.

The paper estimates telomere length in plants using long-read sequencing and finds that gymnosperms have shorter telomeres than eudicots and monocots, while clonally maintained species have longer telomeres.

PanKmer provides a reference-free toolkit for pangenome analysis using k-mer decomposition to explore genetic variation across multiple genomes.
